There were no dramatics in the second meeting between the Thunderbirds and Tigers, since the former decided to lead 8-0 after two and secure a 15-2 five-inning victory over the latter on Monday afternoon.
Most of the damage Tumwater (6-4, 3-3 EvCo) did in the bottom of the first came with one out. Chloe Johnson cleared the bases with a three-run double as the big hit and added another RBI double in the second. Sophie Skillman launched a two-run homer in the fourth and Megan Barrett recorded a three-run triple.
Skillman finished 4-for-4 with five RBIs while Johnson, Barrett and Kendra Schiley all recorded multiple hits. Centralia’s two runs came in the top of the third on a Brooklyn Sprague RBI single and an infield error.
Sprague and Adrienne Lynch each recorded two hits for the Tigers (5-6, 2-5). Tumwater will take on Aberdeen on Tuesday while Centralia heads back to South Thurston County on Wednesday to battle Black Hills.
